Most important, DO NOT FORGET A "Sorry, no public restrooms." sign!

Exactly. Can you send me that link again to the signs? I think you posted it in the hate thread, but I can't find it. I've also seen some pretty good "smile you're on candid camera" signs. (The cameras aren't installed yet, but they will be, before we open).

It's beautiful! alot of open space, the colors in the store are prefect, I know my Fiance would definitely come in and purchase something. Whoever put this store together knew what they were doing and how to set it up. Nam was right advertising is everything,
I work as a graphic designer/art director at an ad agency so if you need any design work done for Branding, logo, flyers, business cards or social media work done just let me know!
Congrats!

I've completely forgotten. Which ones did you want? Service refusal, no public restrooms and what else?
Also, wouldn't hurt to whore-up the vehicle with ads. Once that's on your car, everything's paid for and wherever you go, you're advertising for your business, whether it's a trip to the mall, or a night out at dinner: https://www.signazon.com/vinyl-window-decals/

Thank you, so much! I thought about putting the cash register area on one of the side walls so I could have a better view and discourage shoplifting, but a wanted a cleaner, linear look. I really want it to look high-end. I wanted the floor to be the color of driftwood and wanted the teal/aqua back wall to be a color that wouldn't look dated.
If I had the money, I would blow out that ceiling and put in dropped track lighting. I also want to get a three-dimensional acrylic sign with my business name for that back wall, but I don't have an extra $1,000, right now. Large mirrors are going to be placed above all of those half cases.
More needs to be done, but we might open on the 18th of this month.
I don't know if I can afford another month's rent without selling anything.Thanks for the offer to help. Maybe you can PM me with what info you have pertaining to social media.

We looked at having the same company that is doing the outside signage do vehicle decals and storefront window decals.
Thank you for sending me this link - the prices more reasonable than what I was looking at. I appreciate it!

Well, I'm not sure about that. I probably shouldn't stand behind the counter all day.
Thanks so much! What the hell did I just get myself into?

Yes.
Girls with no pants is a marketing strategy that works best when you don't hide behind the counter.

Thanks so much, beeshaw! (I got my second Sun head painted and will post that pretty soon).
The sign looks great!
Thanks, Maglor. I put those beads in a bowl and photographed them. I designed the sign and am happy with how it turned out. I was hoping to get feedback on how classy/cheesy it is. Do you think it looks high-end? Sometimes it's hard for me to view those things critically.
